School visits to Kew Gardens
We are currently accepting bookings for school visits.
We are still taking bookings for self-led visits this summer term, but we are now fully booked for visits with education sessions in May and have very limited capacity for small groups in June and July 2022.
What to see and do on a school visit
Kew is the perfect setting for an outdoor classroom. We offer visits for all educational organisations.
To help plan your day, you'll get two planning passes once you have paid for your visit.
You can book a self-led visit, or try an education session with hands-on curriculum-linked activities led by a Kew teacher.
